Every X seconds create a dummy at the unit's position and order him to chain lightning a random enemy around him.

If you can't make this alone ask and ill make (BUT TRY FIRST).

hmm.. i just tried to do it.. and i failed. this is what i had
Passive Lightning
Events
Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Lightning Aura
Actions
Unit - Create 1 Lightning dummy for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Orc Far Seer - Chain Lightning (Random unit from (Units within 300.00 of (Position of (Triggering unit))))
Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage circular area after 0.00 seconds of radius 500.00 at (Position of (Triggering unit)), dealing 100.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal


and i doubt it did it right. :\

(Ability being cast) Equal to Lightning Aura - what ability got casted ?
Think in a rational way o0

Also, no need to damage the area.

Here's a more specific guide line:

• Create a group of all the units of the map that have the ability
• Create a loop that will run based on the group size
• Pick one random unit from the group
• Create the dummy on the picked unit location and order to cast (don't forget to add a expiration timer)
• Remove the picked unit from the group.
• Destroy the group with this custom script: call DestroyGroup( udg_GROUPNAME )

Also remove the points each time or your map will lag pretty fast if you have a few units with the aura.
If you do not know what im talking about, read this.
